Dear List,
I've been using Puppet for over a year now and I'm quite enjoying it. I've
learned some stuff but there is of course always room for improvement. Now
I have a task which needs a nicer solution than I'm currently capable of.
I have a hash of items with to key/value pairs, which is *the same for
every node*:
$input_base => {
input1 => { 'port' => '2001', 'component' => 'component1' },
input2 => { 'port' => '2002', 'component' => 'component2' }
}
Then I have a second hash, which is different for every node.
$input_node => {
input3 => { 'port' => '2003', 'component' => 'component3' },
[possibly input4... inputN]
}
These all will be used in a single template. So I can simply do:
$input_merged = merge($input_base, $input_node)
The corresponding port/component entries will then be added in a
configuration file with an $input_merged.each_pair - so far so good.
Now the actual task: I need an extra configfile, generated from a template,
for all the inputN elements of the $input_node - but only for them, not for
the $input_base elements - like this:
* /path/to/project_input3.conf
* [/path/to/project_input4.conf...project_inputN.conf]
This would be possible with create_resources:
create_resources(file, $input_merged)
but in order to do this, $input_merged should have the values of a file
resource - at least "path" and "source => template()". This is not the case.
I could define $input_node initially as a file resource hash - but in this
case I can't merge it anymore with $input_base.
Currently I have no other idea than manually map the input_node elements
into a third hash, and use that with create_resources, but there should be
a nicer solution. Do you have an idea? :-)
Best,
Rp
